Kathy Schuler, Vice President of Patient Care Services and Chief Nursing Officer of Winchester Hospital, Honored as Finalist for 2009 Nursing Image Award
Winchester, Mass. – Kathy Schuler, vice president of patient care services and chief nursing officer (CNO) of Winchester Hospital, was recently honored as a finalist for a 2009 Nursing Image Award from HCPro, Inc., a leading provider of nursing education and management resources. Schuler lives in Wakefield, Mass.
The Nursing Image Awards recognize nurses and nurse leaders who have helped elevate the image of nursing through exceptional leadership, teamwork or clinical accomplishments. The awards celebrate an image of nursing excellence upheld by commitments to improving patient care, quality outcomes, nurse satisfaction and the health care environment.
Schuler, one of more than 200 entries, was a finalist in the Image of Nursing in Leadership category. One judge wrote, “I was impressed that the nursing directors got together to nominate this CNO. [Kathy’s] attribute of ‘unfailing humor’ reminds us that the image of nursing is not of a nurse per se, but of an individual, a person who chose the profession of nursing. This embedded culture of mentorship she has driven, along with her ability to keep the relevance of nursing at the forefront despite economic challenges, without question deserves an honorable mention.”
